This seller has more type for sale. See their OTHER ITEMS*

Seller's description:

"Gallia is a unique decorative letter designed by Wadsworth A. Parker for ATF in 1927, and copied by Monotype the following year. It is a severe thick-and-thin style, with main strokes divided by two white lines into a thick and two thin lines. There are flourished alternate forms of several letters, for use as initials or terminals."*

NOTE: Harvested from the private collection of Dave Churchman, APA 308. You may have seen this font in the chaotic background of the letterpress documentary, "Pressing On".
